First Responders on Revival of a 2-Year-Old Boy
When first responders arrived at a home on April 14, according to Manassas Park Police, they started implementing “live-saving measures.” The kid was brought to a nearby hospital after the overdose-reversing medication was administered.
The infant was transported to a different hospital, according to the police, to receive advanced treatment. An update on the child’s condition has not been given by the authorities. Two adults, according to Manassas Park Police, were detained. They both had unfinished warrants. It was unclear how the child’s two mothers were connected.
Ashley Polzer, 33, was detained by police and accused of presenting false identification to authorities, having drug paraphernalia, and being wanted on three warrants. Savannah Jones, age 26, was also detained for presenting law authorities with a fake ID. According to authorities, she was wanted for grand and small-time larceny in the past.
What is Naloxone Narcan Dose?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, naloxone Narcan dose is a “life-saving drug” that is used to reverse opioid overdoses from heroin, fentanyl, and prescription drugs. Naloxone can be given as an injection or a nasal spray, according to the CDC. The CDC projects that the medication saved 50,000 lives in 2019.
Drug overdose deaths have increased significantly over time, despite naloxone Narcan dose being more widely accessible. Nearly 52,000 people died in 2015. The National Institute on Drug Abuse figure will have more than doubled by 2021.
